I do not own any of the characters from the movie VAN HELSING, if I did, I would have already made this a movie. Enjoy and Please comment!

(Setting: Van Helsing and Carl are riding off back to the Vatican after Princess Anna's burial.)

The sun was just starting to set as Van Helsing finally gave into Carl's constant complaints of wanting to stop and make camp for the night. They let their horses graze in the open field next to a river. As Van Helsing was relieving his horse for the night, he went by the stream and decided to wash his face and let the cold water try to help him clear his thoughts and get some much needed sleep.

As the water was hitting him, sudden glimpses of Anna flashed before his eyes. He splashed his face again to try to forget.

Just after it had gotten dark, Gabriel had made a fire to keep warm. Carl quickly fell asleep. Gabriel chuckled to see that his friend had quickly gone into a state of repose. He then looked at the fire with its dancing array of light. He then thought he saw a face, that looked strangely familiar, but as soon as it had disappeared it vanished. He then decided that it was just his imagination playing with his vision and went to sleep, while unbeknownst to him, a former friend and a more recent enemy was watching him.

Deep in the depths of Hell, sat Dracula, who was curious as to what his old friend was up to. He had used the eternal flames that were there to look upon Van Helsing. He decided to give his friend a special surprise, his memories. He hoped that these images would haunt Gabriel for quite some time, to cause him more pain and suffering. He wanted him to see the pain that he had went through all those years ago.

As Van Helsing was starting to drift off to sleep, he started to hear a faint voice. Now you will remember... He looked around to see if anyone was there, but saw no one. He then went to sleep, and as he did so, his mind opened up and he started to see an ancient world that seemed almost familiar to him.
